some help please

I'm a bit confused on the new version. I have some questions.

1 - I should be able to flash v2.7 over 2.6 correct?

2 - G_Harmony_Gingebreadv2.7(BL1.1)(NoCRT) is G_Harmony_Gingebread v2.7(BL1.1) without the CRT screen on/off animations, correct?

3 - I have version 2.6 running on my Gtab with the netflix app (I had downloaded the installed the apk from the OP). Since the Netflix app has been updated (in v2.7), I do not need to install the apk (com.netflix.mediaclient-2.apk) located in the OP, right?

Thanks for all the help.

PS - Which kernel is everyone using to OC to 1.5? Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] looking335:
canclan, I believe I had a similar problem. Make sure to first flash the ROM, boot into the ROM, shutdown, boot into recovery and then flash GSAPPS. At first I tried flashing one after the other and it created problems.

fp99, not really sure about questions 1-3, but, as far as kernels, the only one I'm aware of to get you to 1.5 GHz is clemsyn's kernel. The other, pershoot, will max out at 1.4 GHz. Others have noted heat issues when running at 1.5. Back when I wanted to squeeze as much speed out of my Gtab and ran it at 1.5, it definitely got warm pretty quick.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
1) No. You need to wipe before flashing v2.7

2)Yes. The No CRT version doesn't have the CRT enabled.

3) I updated the Netflix app in the OP because the older version kept asking for an update. I would use the updated version I posted. Thats the latest from the market.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] fp99:
Thanks. I just wanted to know what kernel people were using. I don't have a need to OC.

Thanks for the help. I was just a bit confused overall. And I did notice Netflix asking to update (which I didn't do thru the market). It was nothing but a minor nuisance (I can always select the cancel option and watch my movies).

EDIT - I actually thought the Netflix apk was bundled into the rom. Thanks!
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
To OC to 1.5Ghz use 1.5boot1.2Gingerupdated.zip from Clemsyn. Works like a charm.

Also you need pipmycpu3.0 to undervolt anything above 1.0Ghz and CPU master for root user to activate the OC.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhermit:
Installed the 2.7 and like it a lot. Two problems so far:

- External SD does not mount on boot. I have to take it out and put it back in for it to be recognized. Once I do that, it is under EMMC as expected

- Some apps (3 out of 67) get deleted every time I boot. For what is worth they are Tetris Free by EA, Raging Thunder Lite, and Air Attack HD. It might just be me.

---------- Post added at 05:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

For what is worth, Did some troubleshooting and the apps being deleted when I reboot is related to the external SD not been mounted. If I don't mount the EMMC and install apps, everything works fine. If I mount (by ejecting and re-insterting) the card and then install, the apps get deleted.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhermit:
Fixed the external card problem.

In build.prop changed

ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/sdcard2;/mnt/usbdisk

to

ro.additionalmounts=/mnt/emmc;/mnt/usbdisk

also remmed out

[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you for this
[G Tablet Android Development] canclan:
Thanks for the suggestions, but still no joy. I have tried everything with this tablet: nvflashing back to stock, formatting, partitioning, changing the order of resets/clearing, *not* resetting/clearing, flashing right after one other, flashing after rebooting, you name it - market will not install (FYI, I have become *very good* at nvflashing!). The install seems fine (through cwm) but when I boot in - nothing. That is why I was hoping someone (anyone?) might know how to make the rom with gapps already wrapped inside as I see many roms do that now. The weird thing is that the other tablet has it running fine, and both tablets have had all the same roms.

Is it possible that the tablet have different guts that are somehow preventing the gapps install? Can market be preinstalled in this rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
v2.7.2 is up. check OP for changes
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
Great will give it a test run.
[G Tablet Android Development] Okstatefan:
I think I will give this a try this weekend on BL1. I've only had my g-tab for a couple of weeks, and have been running Vegan-Tab 7.1.0.
[G Tablet Android Development] tsukaza:
I installed BL 1.2 no crt and it booted without issue, installed the apps, the gtab is up and running. Install 1.5Ghz kernel and nvidia boot image. So far I am happy with this ROM. It feels and runs like VEGanTAB 7.1 except the setting screen got better looking icons. Side loaded Flash 10.3.186.6 and Vending 3.1.3. So far stock browser and OPERA all working nicely. Will test out other apps now :)
[G Tablet Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Why doesn't this support arabic contrary to any AOSP rom and the cm7 source? Really need that :(
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I'll add it into my source.
[G Tablet Android Development] Abu-7abash:
Thank you, would really appreciate it :)
[G Tablet Android Development] luis250:
how enable market in gapps 2.3.5

Mine not working.

Why:confused:

I installed but not working
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You have to flash and boot into the ROM first. Then go back into the recovery and flash the GAPPS.
[G Tablet Android Development] canclan:
You know what tjohnsonjr? I think maybe some gtabs might have difficulties accepting the gapps by zip (not that I have any idea why). I notice upon reading *all* the posts in this thread that a few others have had exactly the same unexplainable problem - they probably have since left for other roms. The exact same procedure on two gtabs and two different results for me - that is weird. Then again, maybe the guy you answered is not following the correct procedure!:)

Anyway, I switched over the problem gtab to flashback today (it took me about ten minutes) and everything took on the first try - go figure. Regardless, I still like your rom and I will be keeping it on the other gtab. I wish I could have gotten market going on both. Thanks again for all the great work!
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
I have had to do that on every variation of CM7 I have ever flashed.

I really dig these ROMs, going to try this one this weekend. Thanks for the hard work.
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
Tjohnsonjr, I installed this ROM tonight. Difficult as it was (had to flash ROM twice, and flash gapps twice, each time and repartition--wiping all my saved data:( ), I do have it up and running. So far, so good. I may change some things around, but over all, first impression, nice. I really dig the GB ROMs. Is this "breed" of AOSP a stripped down version? I like the icons too. The HC icons are a nice touch.

*edit* Had issue with SOD using pershoots kernal. Flashed in clemsyn kernal for gingerbread. OC running at 912mhz low and 1.5Ghz high. Stable and fast. I think the SOD stability issue varies from tablet to tablet. Technically, the screen wakes, but I see no visual que or GUI. On clemsyn kernal no such issue.

On a sidenote, I have played several HD games and watched a few 1080p movies. Completely flawless. This ROM will most likely be my daily use for now.

Adobe Flash Player

Just downloaded this ROM today and loving it! Getting 4575 score on benchmark!

Only problem I have is with Adobe Flash Player. System says it is installed and updated but if I use a site that requires it, like Crackle, it states that I need Flash Player!!

Any ideas??

Thanks for the ROM!!

---------- Post added at 08:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:05 PM ----------

So sorry! Got the correct apk, now working!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Good, glad you like the ROM.. :)
[G Tablet Android Development] canclan:
Does this rom have the CIFS module built in?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Yes it does
[G Tablet Android Development] ZooDad:
Great update. Came up from 2.6. Compete wipe. Fresh install everything is up and working great. Thanks for keeping this current.

Sent G-Harmony 2.7.2
[G Tablet Android Development] joe.attaboy:
Thanks for the terrific ROM.

I had tried a bunch of ROMs on my GTab over the past few months, and had to revert back to a stock installation when something got fouled up. I was unable to reflash a modded ROM for a few weeks, and discovered just how lame the stock ROMs really are. How bad is it when you have to jump through hoops just to get GMail installed on a stock ROM, or when you find out that it's nearly impossible to use bookmarks in the stock browser? Bookmarks?

I decided to flash this latest version last night. I had some initial issues with the first couple of flashes, but after wiping again, formatting /system and /data, flashing ROM, rebooting, then flashing GApps, everything worked great. (Always helps to read all the instructions and posts!) This build is the fastest one I've ever had on this device, and light years faster than the stock ROMs.

I'm still tweaking, but I love this build and wanted to say thanks for the hard work. I've hacked so many Android devices with various ROMs over the past three years and sometimes I have to remind myself how hard the devs work making these things so great.

Cheers!
[G Tablet Android Development] canclan:
Thanks tjohnsonjr! I must be doing something wrong. I can not get cifsmanager to work with this rom or flashback and they both seem to have cifs modules built in. I guess it is back to reading!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you both very much!!!:D

GAPPS install but don't show up

Tried this two times and still no GAPPS.

Wiped, installed the Rom, rebooted into the rom, powered off boot, into CWR installed GAPPS....rebooted and nothing shows up.

Really like this Rom and would like to this to work.

Any suggestions?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Are you connected to the internet? You have to have a WiFi connection before some of the GAPPS will shows up..ie the market

i have the black screen issue in "No CRT" version ?????
[G Tablet Android Development] artisticcheese:
Tablet would not wake up after sleep

I keep having issue with Tablet unable to wake up after I don't use it for 10 hours or so. The only way to deal with is it is to press Power button for long time and it starts booting after that. What can be the reason for this?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I'll look into ASAP
[G Tablet Android Development] Sharpe351:
See the SOD thread on SlateDroid.
[G Tablet Android Development] texasbrew:
will not load

G_Harmony_Gingebreadv2.7.2(BL1.1)(NoCRT).zip

Weird problem. I have 2 gtabs, first one loaded without any problem. When I flash the second gtab, after wipe factory/data reset and wipe cache partition, I get E:Can't open /sdcard/ROMs/G_Harmony_Gingebreadv2.7.2(BL1.1)(NoCRT).zip (bad).

Any ideas on how to get this to work? I downloaded the file again and re-wiped and re-flashed without any luck.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
After you re-download the Rom, make sure you reboot the recovery.
[G Tablet Android Development] texasbrew:
I downloaded the ROM onto my PC, removed the micro SD card then transferred it to the micro SD card using a card reader. Inserted the card into the gtab and then booted into recovery. This process worked for the 1st gtab, but for some reason it isn't working for the 2nd. Each gtab has a micro SD, so I am not switching between the two, or should I use the micro SD from the 1st in the 2nd gtab?

Just tried the micro SD card from gtab 1 in gtab 2, same result. Must be something with gtab 2. gtab 2 is currently on G_Harmony_Gingebreadv2.7(BL1.1)(NoCRT). The only difference that I notice between the two is gtab 2 shows the 3 birds during the boot process before any android screen.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
You can also try NVFlashing GTAB 2 back to stock. Then load CWM and then wipe data, dalvik cache, format system and format data. Then reflash the ROM. That will hoefully get the second tab going for you.
[G Tablet Android Development] texasbrew:
I will give it a shot. Thanks for the suggestion.
[G Tablet Android Development] runngwlf:
Is anyone having trouble with the newest update from the market? Each time I want to use the market on the tab, I have to go in and uninstall updates from the the application management menu in settings, or the market just force closes when I try to open it. The market that came stock works just fine, but now of course, I can only use it once before it updates itself again. Most frustrating!
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Try removing the MarketUpdater apk from the system folder. That will stop the market from updating
[G Tablet Android Development] Jerome.Ramos:
RE: Update

Hello..any chance we'll get a v2.3.7 or Ice Cream with this Rom?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
The 2.3.7 source has been unavailable for some time. The source for Ice Cream Sandwich isn't out yet. I will update to which ever souce becomes available first.

Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] Jerome.Ramos:

I love you man!

[G Tablet Android Development] mpguy84:
Does anyone know what the best kernel for this is? Thanks. Also the menu goes kinda slow and when I use the HC live wallpaper it eats my system. Could be a kernel? Im using clemyns now
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
No. The HC wallpaper does slow the system down a bit. You have to adjust the settings in the wallpaper to get better performance
[G Tablet Android Development] chstephens5219:
What mp3 player works best to play music files on the /sdcard (external microsd)? I have tried many different players and all say I have no music files! Frustrating....I can play one track at a time if I select a single mp3 file using Astro file manager.
[G Tablet Android Development] eltonrosas:
Thanks man, this is the best rom on here so far, maybe that's just my opinion.
[G Tablet Android Development] irishmn69:
cant seem to get an answer to this problem either, he kinda just ignores the "root" question....
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
I didn't ignore you, sorry if you felt that way. I already know that there is a root issue. I'm working on an update.
[G Tablet Android Development] drumdumb:
I like it! works really well! But the root/super user access issue will keep me from making this my daily! Great job tho!
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
This looks to be a very promising ROM. Once you get these issues sorted out it may be a nice GB daily driver for the gTab.
[G Tablet Android Development] Fuganater:
FINALLY I can post on this topic...

Issues I have found:

Flash Player does not work. Tried with Firefox and Dolphin HD. They don't recegonize that Flash Player is installed. I tried installing 10.1 and same result, then tried 10.2 again and still same result.

Obviously the root access issue. (TJ knows)

No Gmail app. Can't download it from the market either. (Yes I could sideload it but then the app will never update)

Touchy screen. Its hard to scroll over the apps without actually clicking on one of the apps. I've tried many ROMs and this is the only one that acts this way.

Other than that this is my daily driver. It is an amazing ROM because it is the greatness that is G-Harmony AND acts like a real android device. (Mainly the fictions of the status bar and layouts) I loved G-Harmony v1.2 but the layout of it and TnT Lite killed me.

Hope these are all of these issues (or some) are fixed in your next update TJ.
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
Out of curiosity, does flash player worked as installed from the stock browser? I've noticed that by default flash, for whatever reason, on many loads will not work on anything but the stock browser. Good luck.

Also, I am wondering if anyone has tried Clemsyn's latest Gingerbread kernel with this, instead of the default Pershoot, to see if it helps any with some of the issues people are having?

Sound excellent. I'm not ready to move from Calkulin's to this, yet, until the supposed root issue is resolved, but definitely promising and cannot wait for the next update. Great work and good luck.
[G Tablet Android Development] Fuganater:
It does not work with the stock browser. (Flash has worked in every other ROM I have touched. This is the first one that Flash does not work on.)

My Kernel is 2.6.32.29-aosp

I'm a kernel noob so idk what to say about it.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Update is up. A lot of fixes. Check first post for details
[G Tablet Android Development] Fuganater:
Effing A man! Can't wait to get home and try it out.
[G Tablet Android Development] danny727:
Damn, I was up till 2am doing this Ron last night lol.

Can i just apply this over the first or do I need to do a data wipe?

Thanks for all you work, this looks great so far.

U da man!!
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
awesomeness!
[G Tablet Android Development] niioto:
Yep. I have the same question to ask though I think I would not mind if I have to do a wipe.

Thanks for this awesome rom and the amount of work you have poured into it. Every time I smile, I appreciate your efforts even more.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you both very much!:D I would wipe just be to be safe.
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Thank you sir :)
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
Nice...after reading through the fixes I'm definitely going to give this a go, now :-) Glad to see you were able to get root resolved, that was my biggest hold-back.

Well done on everything, but one question. I see your using Pershoot's kernel and was wondering if you've tried Clemsyn's at all just for a comparison? In Froyo on Calkulin's ROM I noticed that Clemsyn's ran better for me, but in TNTLite Pershoot ran better...

so it's kinda hit or miss as to which one performs better for each person I suppose...maybe I'll just try myself later tonight and do some back n forth testing.

Can't wait for the downloads to finish, I'll report back later. Thanks.
[G Tablet Android Development] sincerity:
looks great! can't wait to try it out...hopefully tonight after basketball! thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] Synman:
having a hard time finding something wrong with this new version! The few prior items I was struggling with are smooth as silk, including exchange account setup... previously it was FCing when attempting to accept administrator permissions.
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
So far so good...haven't had any issues in the past hour :-) excellent work...i'm gonna have to change the KB out just from personal pref, though...hate these smaller keys, lol. Thanks
[G Tablet Android Development] Tostino:
Wait... updated Nvidia drivers? Does that mean video acceleration is working in Gingerbread??? >.>
[G Tablet Android Development] sverbanic:
Great ROM and great fixes! I left because of the non-root issue but am back on it now. I had to buy the new version of Root Explorer since my old free version didn't work with Gingerbread - immediate FC. But now I am now getting random reboots when my USB cable is plugged in to my tablet and my PC. Just started when I hooked up to transfer some files. I got the standard notification when plugging in the USB cable but my tablet just rebooted when I clicked on the 'USB Connected" notification to mount.

Nothing has changed on my PC, and mounting works fine in other ROMs. I did wipe everything before installing this ROM too. Any thoughts of things to try, I'm willing to experiment. Also, anyone else having "mounting" issues?

Keep up the good work.

EDIT: Upon further troubleshooting, mounting seems to work using the standard Launcher but not the ADW Launcher.
[G Tablet Android Development] rickyt63:
Confirmed above issue.

- With ADW launcher: can not make usb connection when plugging usb cable to PC.

- With std. launcher: connect to pc but see ext. sdcard (not internal sd).

- With std. laucnher: cannot disconnect usb.

Minor issue: phone references still visible. (signal bar, 'no service' at lock screen).

Other than that it's fast.

THANKS tjohnsonjr

Do you apply this patch to new update ?
[G Tablet Android Development] tjohnsonjr:
Yes I did...
[G Tablet Android Development] aboad20:
Thank You very much

I will try to flash this ROM now

can you tell me how you apply it ?, because I want to apply it to another rom ( If you can )

i had problem with wifi which won't connect, and if it connects, it comes up with error.

I had to go back. Everything else appeared to be working ok.
[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
That happens to me sometimes on loads... a reflash always fixes it.... great ROM, and IMO... needs just a few minor things done and it'd be the perfect tablet build :-)

[G Tablet Android Development] flipovich:
Try a double flash and then dalvik clear after the flash as well. Ever since I started doing that I haven't had any boot issues with regular ROMs. Good luck.

Anyone tried pershoot's latest gb kernel on this? I'm ready to make this my daily...been testing it for the last hour or so and I'm really impressed.

[G Tablet Android Development] Fuganater:
I ported the GMail App from my D2 and it works great! This ROM is my new favorite over Harmony v1.2
[G Tablet Android Development] MechAniX.one:
It looks like this might be the one for me.
[G Tablet Android Development] rfisher1968:
Great rom and installed 1st try using the instructions on first post. My only problem was playing Krazy Kart Racing, the orientation of the screen and g-sensor was off. Maybe other games have problem also, but don't know.
[G Tablet Android Development] ocyrus99:
Awesome!

This rom works great! Was having major issues with touch sensor with vegan but seems to work perfect with this. New daily rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] ramerco:
Wow, awesome rom. Finally a mostly stable gb.

Two issues so far:

-Had one seemingly randok reboot playing a tilt 3d labrynth (haven't really tried it again)

-some apps run in the phone size reduced screen mode but sem to be trying to use full res. Specifically happend on yesterdays free amazon app dinerdash2. Seems like a sort of poorly coded app anyway though.

Last thing, any way we can remove the phone apk's? Would it save battery?

Thanks for all your work!

Edit: also, this rom has the most complete market I have seen yet. Every app I try to find is there! I did run the "clear cache in market data in framework" fix before I even tried it, so not sure if it was needed.

Edit 2: standard flash 10.2 works great, but not tue hulu fixed version. can anyone else confirm this?
[G Tablet Android Development] sverbanic:
I've tried the latest pershoot and clemsyn gb roms. Both work but neither fixes the husband mounting issue. Even with that, this is a great gb rom.
[G Tablet Android Development] rob_z11:
dang it.. I should have reflashed it or do kernel update.. Oh well, will try again installing it.
